Chapter 1097 - 436: A Deal?
The despair in White and the noble lady’s hearts was as dark as the abyss. They couldn’t imagine what kind of punishment their son would suffer. They had always thought their son was impeccable, even if he made some minor mistakes, they could always smooth things over with money and power. However, they now realized that the world wasn’t as simple as they imagined.
Alina’s eyes flashed with a crimson light, as if an irresistible power was surging within her. Under her aura, Peter had completely lost the ability to resist, and could only kneel on the ground trembling.
Although White and the noble lady also felt fear, they were more worried about their son. They knew that if Alina really wanted to take action against Peter, they couldn’t stop her at all.
"Minister Zhang, please save our son!" The noble lady suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Beixing, tearfully pleading.
Zhang Beixing looked at the noble lady kneeling in front of him, her miserable appearance inevitably evoked some pity.
Even Zhang Beixing’s eyes flashed with a complicated expression.
However, this expression quickly disappeared from Zhang Beixing’s eyes.
Because as Zhang Beixing’s cultivation advanced, during the process of comprehending the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique.
Zhang Beixing also gradually understood.
There was a power in this world that belonged to him alone.
If one had to use a word to describe it.
It would be causality.
At this moment, Zhang Beixing did not doubt the noble lady’s tearful appearance at all.
White, that appearance of being unable to bear looking at his eldest son was feigned.
But Zhang Beixing also believed that if given another chance.
They would still make the same choice, indulging and spoiling their child.
Alina obviously didn’t have as many thoughts as Zhang Beixing.
Looking at Peter kneeling on the ground, shivering but unable to make a sound.
In Alina’s eyes, there was only indifference.
After all, to her, he was just like food.
Only it seemed that this one in front of her was a bit more fragile.
At that moment, Alina’s palm suddenly clenched.
Peter didn’t even let out a scream.
His whole body suddenly shrank, then burst apart under the massive pressure.
The blood within his body splattered out and was then compressed back again under immense pressure.
It circulated like a cycle, condensing into the shape of a blood orb.
The blood orb floated in the air, and Alina gently beckoned to it.
Seeing this scene, White and the noble lady’s eyes were filled with despair and terror. They couldn’t imagine their son would be subjected to such a cruel fate, their hearts filled with endless pain and regret. They had always spoiled Peter too much, causing him to become so reckless and ultimately end up on such a path.
Alina looked at the blood orb in her hand, a trace of satisfaction flashing in her eyes. She seemed to be very pleased with her control over this power, and proud of her own strength.
Zhang Beixing stood quietly to the side without speaking. He knew he couldn’t intervene in this matter. This was a grudge between Alina and Peter, and he could only be an observer, silently watching it all unfold.
The cries of White and the noble lady echoed in the room, but Alina seemed not to hear them. Her gaze remained fixed on the blood orb in her hand, as if contemplating something.
After a while, Alina finally spoke: "This is your son’s fate. He thought he could act with impunity under your protection. But he was wrong, the world is not as simple as he imagined."
After speaking, Alina lightly waved the blood orb in her hand, and it transformed into a red light, disappearing into the air.
Watching this scene, White and the noble lady’s sense of despair deepened. They knew they could no longer restore their son’s life. And it was all their own fault.
Perhaps the noise downstairs was too loud.
Originally resting upstairs, Richard came to the living room.
Richard walked in slowly.
What met his eyes was White and the noble lady with tears on their faces, almost half-kneeling on the ground.
An otherwise dignified and respectful steward now wore a look of disbelief on his face.
And at this moment, the main seat in the living room was occupied by a young girl with a blood-red sphere hovering in her hands.
Like a magician’s performance.
But judging from White and his wife’s reaction, Richard knew things wouldn’t be as simple as they seemed.
However, this was clearly not the time to inquire about it.
Richard’s gaze shifted, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
So he couldn’t concern himself with White’s miserable state or the noble lady.
He quickly walked towards the little girl sitting in the main seat of the living room.
"I am Richard of the Federation Clan."
"I once had the pleasure of meeting you in my grandfather’s study, do you remember?"
Alina, while playing with the blood orb in her hand, casually glanced at Richard.
"Federation Clan?"
"Your grandfather is that little guy Omi, right?"
Alina’s words caused a tidal wave of shock in Richard’s heart. He hadn’t expected this seemingly ordinary little girl to refer to his grandfather as "little guy". This made him extremely curious and reverent towards Alina’s identity.
"Yes, my grandfather is indeed Omi." Richard responded respectfully, while also guessing Alina’s identity. He could sense the powerful aura emanating from Alina, making him not dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful.
